Five races into its inaugural 2017 season, the Bandit Big Rig Series makes its next stop at Highland Rim Speedway July 1st

“Quarter miles make for some interesting action because they’re so short,” Bandit Director of Operations Brian Madsen said. “There isn’t much room on the track, so you can expect more bumping and rubbing, two things that fans love to see!”

The last time the Bandits hit the track, Ricky Rude had his three-race win streak snapped by Mike Morgan.

“We were waiting for that win since the start of the season,” Morgan said.

Drivers race for a $50,000 purse at every Bandit event, with the winner of the feature race taking home a $10,000 check.

Eight races remain in 2017, which has seen many Bandit firsts, including the first time a father/son have competed (Bob & Tommy Boileau) as well as an entire family of Bandits (Craig, Tyler & Trevor Kruckeberg).

Gates open at 4:30 p.m.July 1st and the racing action starts at 6 p.m.
